Compounding is the pharmaceutical science of making a medication compatible with an individual patient’s needs.
In this day and age, most medications are mass-produced; that is, they are made in bulk by large pharmaceutical companies for thousands of people who, at some time, may need to have a prescription filled. Mass-produced medications often work just fine for you or a loved one who has fallen ill. However, sometimes, a mass-produced medication will not work or be tolerated. Something about the medication is not compatible with your unique physiological makeup:
Compounding allows a specially trained pharmacist to make a medication and a patient (human or animal) compatible. This is done by considering the patient’s unique needs and symptoms.
A compounding pharmacist uses raw chemicals, powders, liquids, and special equipment to make each medication, one at a time. According to a doctor’s directions, this results in a customized medication made by a pharmacist to meet an individual patient’s needs.

No. Compounding is practiced by pharmacists who have been specially trained in compounding. Compounding requires specialized equipment as well, which many pharmacies do not have. Compounding pharmacies are regulated and governed by the state board of pharmacy in which they are located.
Our pharmacists have received extensive training in compounding techniques and have access to a support network that generates a constant exchange of ideas and innovations. We are active members of the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) and the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP). We aim to ensure you receive high-quality compounded medications at competitive prices.
